Keto Fresh Strawberry Pie
Bring on summertime and sunshine with this hot red, Strawberry Pie!
It is strawberry season and you know I had to create a recipe that has all the goods in it. I wanted something sweet but also comforting. Strawberries are definitely one of my favorites.
With Father’s Day right around the corner, I thought it would be a ideal time to debut this beauty.
In my early 20’s when I first got into baking, I found a land o’ lakes cookbook at a yard sale. It had some fabulous recipes that I grew to adore. My memories are so fond that I have tried to recreate many of them in ketogenic fashion, and this beloved pie is one!
Every bite is filled with strawberries and a light, flakey crust that melts in your mouth when combined all together.
This Strawberry Pie is irresistible. Just a warning, it won’t last long! This is a great dessert for holidays, Fourth of July coming up and any family gatherings or potlucks that need a special dessert.
Why this is the BEST Strawberry Pie Recipe
You will love this easy pie for so many reasons:
- It’s completely from scratch – from the pie crust to the filling
- Made with jello or gelatin – the fruit makes it’s yummy filling
- Great way to use up fresh spring or summer strawberries(or any berry)
- Fun and bright for summer or holidays
Are berries ketogenic?
Strawberries are nutritious, delicious, and brimming with health benefits.
Low in carbs and high in fiber, strawberries can fit seamlessly into a low carb or ketogenic diet.
In fact, a 1-cup (152-gram) serving of strawberries provides just 11.7 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber .
Strawberries are an excellent source of other micronutrients as well, including vitamin C, manganese and folate.
Plus, like other types of berries, strawberries are loaded with antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and procyanidins.
Strawberry Pie Tips:
- Use the freshest strawberries you can find
- I like to cut my strawberries in different sizes to make a more attractive pie.
- Two days seemed to be the “sweet spot” for the lasting power of this pie. Because this pie is so fresh, it has no thickeners or preservatives to prolong it’s shelf life.
- It was ready to eat in 4 hours, but was better set up if left overnight.
CJ’S FOLLOW-UP TASTE TEST:
This pie was tasted very good. Very fresh and delicious with all natural ingredients. With that being said two to three days is the max for full flavor and freshness. It’s just the nature of using no preseratives in your dessert. I look forward to when Sarah makes another one, and we hope you enjoy it as well.
